A couple WWE Hall of Fame Notes

Believe it or not, the WWE Hall of Fame speeches are being scripted this year by WWE writers, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Road Warrior Animal did an interview and noted that the company has guidelines on what can and can’t be said.

Speaking of the WWE Hall of Fame, the company is talks with a number of cities about establishing a physical Hall of Fame. Animal said in an interview that he has heard that Tampa is a possibility. Orlando has also put in a bid.

I understand the need for guidelines to an extent,but do they (Vince,etc.) actually think that by not mentioning someone or an incident from the past (steriod scandal, Benoit ) will make go away ? I really liked listening to the story tellers in the past during their inductions ( Flair, Piper ,and Rhodes ) and can’t see why they won’t let this years inductees tell their own stories . The writers are in place to create storylines to keep people entertained and get ratings, the Hall of Fame ceremony isn’t about ratings it’s about the men and women who lived the life going up and down the road to entertain us the fans. It is also their opportunity to their OWN story . I just wonder the double standard that HBK and HHH will set by doing things their own way ? They will probably toe the line and be good little corporate puppets something the characters they portray for ratings were/are very much against.
